I'm all finished treatment.
In Oct 2015 I was diagnosed with mixed IDC/ILC with one node affected and stage two. I had a single mastectomy followed by a full axillary clearance to made sure no other nodes were affected. I then had 4 doses of chemotherapy and took Tamoxifen for 2.5 years and Letrozole for 3 months.
I saw my oncologist yesterday who said I was one of the 15% (or percentage) who needs their hormones to maintain good heart health and with my particular cancer and treatment there was a 65% chance I didn't need hormone therapy anyway and since I had stuck it out for almost 3 years that will do now.
So I am free! No more treatment apart from a bone density scan later in the year and an annual mammogram for the rest of my life. I am ecstatic! :D :D :D
